Z1 Camera 20.7

I think not that easy, maybe can, but you must change the camera lib/fw

Yep, I Know if I change camera absolutely add z1 firmware library..

what makes you think the camera lib files will work on z firmware? If it was that easy surely a lot of people would do that?

You're Crazy
Dude, Its nowhere near possible I think, smartphones are very tightly integrated, is it just me or the size of the lens looks a bit bigger? If this is so then it wouldn't be possible.

You can ask monx or krappabel as they ported z1 camera to our z.

You mean the camera app, that is something completely different.
If you want to built CM11 (or another open source ROM like PA, Omni etc.) with Z1 camera libraries you could probably succeed. Try to built and boot one Rom with the Z1 camera libs just to see if the CSI interface of the SOC is similar enough, if this works I would rate you chances good (read as in I would guess 40%) that it will work. You could get a more educated guess from the guys of the FXP, I think, though they might be more pessimistic as they might not be fans of those kind of tinkering.
With original Sony firmware I would think that it is way harder to accomplish.

Thank u for All informations I ask monx and krappel

They ported the apps and not the HAL/framework. They most likely can't help you. Read my previous post.

The camera on Z1 have it's own firmware and a lot of other things related to the kernel.
You'll have a enormous work here,for sure.
Sent from my Odin!

It would be awesome if it worked since I also need to change my camera due to dead pixelz.
I think it would be hard tho, even if you asked monx or any other dev. Because they aren't in the same situation as you are. Of course they can give you some support, but it's still limited compared to if they did it themselves.

this will never work
1) you need to modified camlib
2) also you need to modified the internal system core -> kernel etc
3) also it will screw your phone badly and all you will have is a device which does nothing
take my advise just get a Z1 if you have the money if not just stay on Z it is not a bad phone...

Did you even read what is nessecary to make it work??? You can't just put hardware in it, that differs from the original

as I said before, that will not easy to just change like that.
hmm, does the camera socket fits it?
And, does the Z1 camera is thicker than the original Z camera?

LG Camera for AOSP question

I love AOSP, concept. But the lost of the LG stock camera, is keeping me "attached" to stock firmware. Is anyone working in porting the stock G3 camera to AOSP. If not, I think that we need a good developer as a volunteer for this work. I'm pret tu sure that the estire G3 community would really thankful in that case.
It might a good I idea to have a idea of the people interested in supporting this project.
If you find to have the Stock camera in AOSP is worthy, please vote +1. May be if you are enough, one of our talented developers, get interested in this project.
Thanks in advance.
:fingers-crossed:

Not possible to do that.

i don't think it's impossible.. someone ported this for g2 (although not working on ART)

Did anyone try the g2 camera app on the g3?

Stock-quality camera and Knock Code is keeping me attached to stock ROMs and there's barely any on the D852 Xposed module for Knock just don't cut it yet...

guys i installed g2 camera on a lollipop aosp rom.. it's working.. taking picture.. but dpi isn't fixed.. it's not full screen and icons haven't right size

It should work everything with the stock lg cam wich use not the lg framework.
But thats are only 3 things. 4kuhd recording and [email protected] and audiozoom.
I know that because i implemented it to freedcam.

I have done a first comparison series.
So far, at least, at broad-day light, I cannot see any significant difference in quality among Stock AOSP, Google, Lenovo and Stock G2 camera.

If you test with low light and try HDR you will see that it does not work.
The only HDR implementation currently working is with stock roms...

low light with non stock camera app is *&#**@ !!!!!
that g2 camera is taking picture well .. i hope someone fix dpi setting .. at least it'll be full screen

I'm on Cyanogen Rom and happy with the AOSP camera. I'm not an avid camera user and don't use stuff like 4k.

[MOD][ZIP] New Moto X Camera+/Gallery

I seen the old Moto camera posted before but not the new one. This is the stock Motorola Camera+ from the MotoX with Gallery. This is based of 5.X.X so it should work across most lollipop builds. I have tested this on stock and AOSP ROM's.

If you want the additional options (settings) to work you must change you're build.prop on the line that says "release-keys" to "tests keys". I will upload the build.prop also, I stripped out the OEM specific junk also. The exact line in the build prop to change is :
ro.build.tags=release-keys (original)
to
ro.build.tags=test-keys (changed)
Of course all the same rules apply. Myself or XDA are NOT responsible for the lack of common sense or stupidity, resulting in bootloops or non functional devices.
**The settings I'm referring to is the little (bug) icon when you slide out the settings wheel from the right.**

I actually have the new HTC camera on my N6 right now and I still think this camera gives better images. I went to a instant print machine the other day. I was really impressed of the quality of the pictures when printed.

Both the HTC and the Motorola are missing HDR options. The Motorola Camera has less functionality than the HTC camera, specifically I need to be able to set focus while 4K video recording.
The burst mode is very good on this one. Overall I think ALL camera apps are missing one thing or another, which I think is very frustrating.
LCamera is outdated, has no HDR and latest dev build has issues.
F5-V is slow & buggy atm and I don't like the UI, 4K video is broken, no HDR.
Manual Camera has great UI & Control but no video recording & HDR ?!!!!
Motorola has ****ty UI, but feels polished. Burst mode works great, but no HDR. No focus control while recording video.
HTC Camera has a ****ty UI and no HDR. (But is the best one overall with focus control during 4K Video recording)
Google Camera is a joke but is the only one with working HDR.
Pick your poison.
I would love a fully functioning ColorOS camera port.
Any advice ?

Um, I can look into porting it over. It might just work if you strip the apk out of the ROM.

That would be great but there already has been a port made for the oneplus one CM12 and Ive tried using that one but it just crashes on opening the app. (running CM12 myself here too)

Maybe you can contact the guy/girl behind that port and work something out.
I've gotten to the point where I would pay for a decent camera app for the nexus 6.

I just downloaded it. If I have time I will work on it tonight. If not ,after memorial day I will get it done. I will also put it on my github so others can use it.

Just a quick update for anyone following this thread. I gathered up some source stuff and will be starting to dive into the ColorOS camera port along side a few others.
If you have any other camera that's not functional on the N6 post it in this thread and I will look into it.

Lol I got sidetracked with developer preview. However, I do have the ColorOS camera running on the N6, but it won't take a picture when you press the button or force closes. I pinned it down to some kernel tweaks that need to be made. So no ETA's but I'm getting there.

Hideous image processing

What the actual ****, Sony?
I always noticed something was sheit about this camera and I kind of knew it was about the image processing but never realised just how had it is.

How could you possibly ruin a picture so much? Not to mention the raw image from the 21mp shot has a much better quality than a frame from a video!
Does anyone know of a way to disable this?

Sony has messed up the camera with lag to launch it and to do a capture... I dont understand really what is the issue to improve that. I have readed that RAM is important.

RAM might be related to the launch issue but where is the problem in just disabling the anti-noise algorithm altogether?

Yeah, where is it. Algorithm is all broken around... Really it isn't understable. Sometimes I think if Sony has something under contract with the others companies and it messes up the software post process.... It's the unique lame in Sony right now if you see the Galaxy S7, LG G5, Huawei P9... Curious thing that Sony is the coolest thing in the sensor industry. Casualty or...

It's nothing short of ridiculous that this phone does not fully support Camera 2 API yet. Sony has been marketing this phone all around the camera but they don't deliver anything.
I'll put up a post on the Sony forums and see how it turns out.

The best camera in the world, isnt? lol

I've noticed when you double tap to zoom in it zooms in A LOT. Meaning you see more noise/blurriness. In other phones when you double tap to zoom it doesn't zoom in as much so it looks sharper. But the camera is actually pretty good, SA sometimes gets it completely wrong in low light situation and the shutter lag is ridiculous. Takes too long to take a picture.

That is literally what I did when I took a bike trip yesterday. Recorded about 1:40 minutes which resulted in almost a gigabyte of video and I extracted exactly 47 still images out of that.
You need a lot of storage but it's a possible workaround. Sad this camera ruins an otherwise great phone.

Nothing comes close as stock app with manual controls, like samsung or lg camera apps.
I tried that camera fv 5 or how it was called actualy, and i was not impressed at all.
I really like this phone, but I am dissapointed with the camera.
Also camera interface sucks, it is okay for auto mode but for manual mode you have to go in settings just to change iso or hdr? Really Sony?

They seemed to have improved it significantly in the Xperia X, which is ridiculous as its specs aren't more powerful than the Z5. They are also advertising 0.6 shutter response from standby and "almost instantaneous" shutter response from normal use of the app. Yet if you look at a few of the MWC demos, you can see the shutter response is faster but it still captures very slightly after... On the show floor there were two demos emphasizing the autofocus and shutter from standby, but few people filming there actually showed the shutter response conclusively.
Third party apps have the potential to have less shutter lag but I found the on-screen camera button and physical button to be often unresponsive, probably because the autofocus is badly optimized.

Camera2 API support?

Does this phone have it?
If yes, is the support enabled by default? Or do we need to root and enable it later by editing the build.prop?
Can someone with this phone post a screenshot of this app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.weis.camera2probe

Hi awaaas,
Looking for this phone too? I have created the lounge at kaskus, you might want to check it out. Reminds me of old days.
Unfortunately, no C2A support yet, at least not in the demo unit.

Long time no see, bud... :highfive:
One of my relatives wants this phone, just want to make sure some of the phone's capabilities that reviewers often left out. For comparison, Redmi Note 5 Pro, the one that compared to this phone a lot, has Camera2 API support, but only if you edit the build.prop first (according to my friend that have it, I don't actually have that phone).
For me myself, I might will be still using my Mi 5s for foreseable future...

:highfive: Yeah, probably several years.
If me, it is me myself who are looking for this phone. RN5P still disabled the C2A, need (temporary) root to enable it. Same with this phone, if no C2A support out of box, at least we can enable it using the same method. But there is a rumour about major OTA update at 30 April. We expect to see a lot of improvement compared to the somewhat "beta" ROM from the media review unit. Let's hope to see the C2A has been enabled in this major update.

Haven't seen it anywhere yet. Only the 4K DCI/UHD and the 1080p has EIS already in the retail unit. The camera app seems will be updated tomorrow to support it. Hopefully, we can see the C2A support too in the next update.

Gcam will not work without camera api2 ! Let's wait and see...

Hope they will update to add support soon. Don't let the stock camera app be the limiting factor of image quality!

I hope someone comes with a GCam port for this phone. As far as what I tested, the phone's rear cam is quite good (except for very low light scenarios).
Also, the front cam desperately needs better balance in colors, dynamic range. Currently, selfie quality is quite decent, the colors are not accurate/natural even under good light (skin has a red tinge). And overall, brightness, noise level etc., could be tweaked a bit too.
Any suggestions for a different app that can bring out better photos out of the front cam??

Thanks!
Is this the default settings? or do you need to edit the build.prop?

Hey Aniket, thanks for the SS, can you install this Camera2 API Probe https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airbeat.device.inspector app, actually, in this app its gives the individual camera parameters for both front & back camera & earlier the app link that I gave, that shows the overall result so basically it was my bad so I'm requesting you to install this app instead now this time & ost the SS once again as I want to know all the parameters for both of the cam of this hone individually.
& is it possible to install Gcam in this hone without rooting or is there any tools available like this MI A1's AIO Toolhttps://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/tool-xiaomi-mi-a1-tool-drivers-unlock-t3742857 so that it can be rooted & unlocked automatically & that can be used by all the novice users, & whether all future OTA updates will be available if bootloader is unlocked & rooted & warranty will be voided or not
